Broker Buddha helps Insurance Brokers & Agents win more business by moving the application and renewal process into an interactive, customer-friendly online experience. In this episode Tony (he is the one making all of the typing sounds at the beginning of the podcast – before I sent him a nasty message) & I spoke with Jason Keck, CEO of Broker Buddha. Jason discussed more than just the solutions Broker Buddha provides. One big insight that I took away from this recording was Jason’s belief that successful startups need to be really good at, and remembered for one BIG thing. Too many startups are trying to solve too many problems, too quickly. Their potential customers can’t pin down that one thing they are really good at, thus, aren’t known for solving any problem. Jason is a serial entrepreneur with senior experience at some big-time startups such as Shazam. He definitely brings an interesting perspective to how insurtech should solve insurance-related problems.
